4x4 Axles
I've got a frame, axles and t-case from a '74 F-250 that I was going to use on another project (57 F-100). I've decided to go another direction for the 57 (low) and was wondering if the drive train from the '74 is rare or somewhat common? I bought it over 20 years ago so I really have no idea! I think the t-case is an NP205 and the axles are the closed knuckle 8 lug type, I think Dana 44 and Dana 60. Thanks for any info.

The open knuckle Dana 44s are not junk. The closed knuckle axles have much smaller u joints, terrible brakes and the knuckle seals are a pain. Around here you couldn't give closed knuckle d44s away.

I think saying their junk is a rather harsh discription. for a purist who is restoring a'73-'75 F250 and wants the correct axles these could be quite valuable. I know parts are getting harder to find and costly, and not near as durable or desirable as their later counter parts.
remember one mans junk is another mans treasure
for the hardcore offroad rig, NO these would not be the hot setup!
